A review by cjyu
Gone by Lisa McMann

3.0

Dull, but at least it gave background on Janie's past and wrapped everything up. Cabel was too distant ( and he was my favourite character) and whole time it was just Janie. Dad. Janie. Dad. Mom. Screwed up life. Janie. Dad. Ending. I dunno, not exactly satisfying. The characters felt flat and lifeless, everyone turned back, the romance sucked, the emotions that Janie went through failed to draw me in and sympathized with her, and the usual writing style just doesn't work out for this plot. It made sense in Wake, not as great in Fade, AND RIDICULOUS for Gone. No doubt that Wake was the best book in the whole series- it gave such promise and now I feel let down, I think if Lisa McMann expanded Wake a bit for and cut down some of Gone and the indecision that Janie constantly had, and combined it, it would've made an excellent book. At least now I cleaned off the series, so I won't be wondering what happens next.
